Tammy Fisher hopes her book can help others

About five years ago, Tammy Fisher’s goal was to begin a prayer group focusing on helping troubled teens and young adults.

That goal was accomplished as her prayer group immediately took off in her Battle Creek home with a core group of several ladies.

Soon after, she decided to expand her spiritual thoughts to social media and began a Facebook group called Morning Women.

Fast forward to today and Fisher said she’s gained about 500 followers on social media, and that has led her to write a book.

“Good Morning Morning Women” is a compilation of inspirational messages she’s written and prayed the past several years empowering women to change their world one day at a time.

Her book has been released, and is available for sale on amazon.com, she said.

“Writing a book was never my passion, but I’m proud of it,” Fisher said. “Now I want to show other women how they can do it. Even if it’s not writing a book, I want to be an inspiration to young women.”

Struggling young women and mothers have a large space in Fisher’s heart. She said she struggled as a young woman with making the right decisions for her and her five children, who are now adults.

“Life is hard, and women might want to throw in the towel,” Fisher said. “But women have a choice. I used to watch women out of my front window walk their children to school and on their way back home wanting to tell them to make sure they do something with their time instead of going back home and getting in bed or watch TV all day or hang out with friends.”

Fisher said she wanted to tell those ladies to go back to school, find a hobby or get a job. She wishes she would have taken that advice, she said.

“Use your time because it’s becoming a rare commodity,” she said.

“Good Morning Morning Women” was written out of a sadness and struggle to make ends meet, Fisher said.

One of her favorite messages in the book is “when you go back and get something you left, always remember the reason you left it.”

“If God wanted us to go backwards, he would’ve put eyes in the back of our heads,” Fisher said jokingly. “Seriously, though, if I can take this book and put it in other women’s hands and encourage them to get up and make it happen, then writing the book, with God’s help, has helped accomplish my goal.”

Carolyn Walker is one of the original Morning Women prayer group members. She said it’s inspiring to see Fisher’s book release.

“I’m very proud of her — to see that she’s been obedient to what God told her to do — and now to see it manifest is a testament to her diligence, “ Walker said.

Fisher plans to hold a book signing in May, she said.
